Therian forum?

Sorry if I can't find this shit on my own *face paw*
But I was just wondering, does anybody know where to find the most popular therian forum, group or community on the web?

I mean, I googled a lot of things but all I'm getting is websites that look like they were scripted in the 90s (ugh) and forums with the newest post being from 07 or 08.
And on top of that, I have all these otherkin websites cluttering my search (no offense, just not what I'm looking for).
So if any ones clued in on a super cool website I'm not in the know about, think you could pop on over and tell me?

Therian's believe that all or part of their soul is animal in nature, usually an animal that does or did exist, though mythical therians are becoming more and more common (dragons, griffins, ect). They're often lumped in with Otherkin, though otherkin can share a soul with many mythical beings, including fairies, demons, angels, etc. FYI, therians are not generally the same thing as werewolves; if you run into a therian who claims they can physically shift, they're likely a 12 year old looking for attention, or someone with a sever mental unbalance.

FYI, I'm one, as well. Sorry, OP, there used to be a couple decent groups on Myspace, but since everyone's running to facebook, they've pretty much died as well. I'm a member of the Therian group on facebook, but it's pretty dead (except during troll season). I really don't know of any good ones anymore... wish I could be more help.

That's a myth, thank you very much. Who wants to wait for the full moon? :P

Re: Therian forum?

Therians are idiots now. i remember back when i could talk to dignified therians without getting things like "*face paw*" or "AROOO!" or stupid shit like that.

try making a myspace and joining therianthropy/lycanthropy forums. that's where i used to go, before we got a bunch of fifteen year olds with their "HEY GUYS ^____^ HOWLS TO ALL OF YOOOOOU!"

You could try this one: Children of the Moon Myspace group. It was formed after the "Myspace Otherkin" group imploded on itself, and I can vouch for most of the members as being mostly normal and overall not idiots.

Meh, mostly just the Dragonkin. :P

The Best forum for "Special" kids is called Wrongplanet. OP, you should go here for your therian/otherkin needs: http://www.wrongplanet.net/

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's the NEW! variety of Therian, and that the actual / "true" variety of Therian simply believes it has some sort of spiritual connection to an animal, an animal spirit guide, etcetera. As in, not "I'm a Dragon on the inside!". That belongs to:

They're often lumped in with Otherkin,

These guys.

This thread came up before, and not too long ago either. Page 6 in Off Topic, I believe. By Shenzebo.

To quote myself from there: "From what I gathered in their older posts: There's two types of Therians. Those that see it as a totem animal or guiding animal and what not, and those that are basically stereotypical otherkin-lite. "Fuck you I'm a bear" and what not. Otherkin are mostly those who believe to have some sort of animal spiritual presence inside them / been put in the wrong body for this life.

Re: Therian forum?

There can, of course, be faults found with Otherkin, Dragonkin, or any other subgroup or belief system. Certain members can attract unwelcome attention to themselves and then be seen as representing the whole group as well as those who just don't like the idea. I am sure that Otherkin are not the only group which are generalised and stereotyped.

Re: Therian forum?

The therian community is all but dead, and has no one to blame but itself. It really has no place in the web 2.0 era, and probably couldn't. That's not to say there aren't therians online, but you'd probably never be able to tell by looking at their facebook and youtube acounts. And if you could, that alone is probably good enough reason not to reach out to them.

Re: Therian forum?

AAAANYWAY.
Thanks for the two (?) links I got after I waded through the debate.
Its kind of sad to think that people jumped right on the "Therians are stupid" band wagon.

I don't "howl at the moon and eat my steak raw" and if I didn't its not like I'd tell anybody about it. And I really don't feel like associating with myspace whores who think that growling at strangers at the mall is a "cool therian activity" I was really looking for a forum that focused more on spirituality and furthering your your understanding of the animal soul feel closest too. I guess I should have clarified at the OP...

Oh, and otherkin are def. not the same.
They think they actually are animals. -_- I'm a human bro, my soul is just different.
